Description

Track aircraft in real time on an interactive map. SkyPinger displays live ADS-B data showing callsigns, altitudes, speeds, and flight paths for thousands of aircraft simultaneously. REAL-TIME TRACKING See aircraft positions update live on a full-screen interactive map. Each aircraft shows its callsign, altitude with climb/descent indicators, and speed. Military aircraft are highlighted with distinctive styling, and helicopters are detected automatically. PROXIMITY ALERTS Get notified when aircraft are approaching your area. Configure distance thresholds (1-50 nautical miles), altitude limits (1,000-45,000 ft), and closest point of approach (CPA) alerts. Notifications are delivered to your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. POWERFUL FILTERING Filter aircraft by altitude range, callsign or ICAO code, military status, and proximity. Show only aircraft approaching the map center, or focus on military traffic. Filter preferences persist between sessions.
